The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

Sandakan
Set on a bay on the north eastern coast of Sabah and facing the Sulu Sea, Sandakan is less than an hour by air from Kota Kinabalu. Gateway to Borneo’s wildlife, it is a busy port, with ships loading timber, rattan, copra and bird’s nests. Gomantong Caves, 30km south of Sandakan are two caverns that are home to one million swiftlets. The lower Kinabatangan River, three hourse by boat from Sandakan is where you can spotthe proboscis monkey with the males sporting a pendulous nose, fat belly and thick white tail.
Turtle Island Park (Pulau Penyu National Park)
is located some 40 kilometres north of Sandakan in Sabah, east Malaysia. It consists of 3 islands – Selingan, Bakungan Kecil and Gulisan, including the surrounding coral reefs and ocean. The Park is famous for its green turtles and hawsbill turtles which lay eggs on the beaches of the islands. Turtle Island Park is administered by Sabah Parks.
Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre
Only 25km northeast of Sandakan town, Sepilok is home to this well conserved 10,000ha tropical lowland rainforest sanctuary where scores of Orang Utan (Pongo Pygmaeus) roam free. This sanctuary is a fascinating place where visitors can observe captive animals being retrained for life in the jungle. Visitors are encouraged to visit during feeding time at 10.00am and 3.00pm for an interesting experience. You can see the orang utans being fed from a platform in the middle of the forest, about a 20-minute wakl from the centre. Nicknamed the Wild Man of Borneo, the animals are returned to the forest when they are able to fend for themselves. Open daily from 9.00am to 11.00am and 2.00pm to 3.30pm. Tel: (6) 089 531 180.
